to offer advice???

[grannyhen]

I'm concerned about my gc - he doesn't have set bedtimes and he grazes throughout the day, and drinks from a bottle. HE is not potty trained. He is 2 yo. I'm a bit worried the lack of routine will store up more problems later on, my son and DIL don't seem to care. Should I persist with advising them or leave them to get on with it?? I'm considering inviting him to stay with me and trying to potty train him myself.

Leave them alone. Please.

Starting to wonder why I complained so much about my MIL

Do you think it's someone trying to get PR going for gransnet?!!

WOuld a dummy work better than a bottle to gradually wean him off?

What part of it is not your fucking business back the fuck off do you not understand?

Err, no gh, I don't think it would.

He's 2 FFS let him have a suck on his bottle for a little longer without making DIL or DS or even DGS feel bad.

Total crap about affecting tooth development too, unless he walks around with it hanging from his chops all his waking hours.....

Thumbsucking, well that's a little different......

So glad you aren't my MIL

MoFo, the other thread was probably 9 out of 10!

The penny has finally dropped!

Would you like to try to swaddle him to sleep as well maybe, that might give him the routine you think he needs

Given your other recent thread about your Daughter and your SIL I think you really would be better off stepping back a bit.

When I first read the OP I thought "someone lives under a bridge", but then I saw there was another thread along similar lines.

You need to back off, op.

MoFo, do you think the granny angle and the launch of gransnet are just a bit too coincidental?

and yes, tis must be a wind-up. Not least because of the slip-up the IP made in the other thread when she 'posted under her daughter's username (johnpaulII) by accident'

yeah right.

I would be concerned about all of the same things however my OH does not like routine. Don't offer advice - ever. If they want help, they will ask. I would just offer good times at your house and a break for your son and his partner .

it's nothing to do with you when the parents decide to potty train, routine, ditch bottles ect.

tbh my son only had a routine at bedtime when he went to school i enjoyed having him up till 9-10pm as i had work the next day, so wanted to spend as much time with him ( he then slept lovely for mil the next day)

This is a piss take! It has to be and it's a hilarious one!

boys are normally slower at potty traning than girls and don't worry until he's 3 and still in nappies
ds2 would graze untill he was about 3.5-4 year old. he know eats more set meals
bottle, he needs to be coming off them at 2 but take it slowly.

Quite pleased as my 'trip-trap radar' went off after the first post. There's a first for everything. :o

Well, wind up or not, I want a prize for the first linky on the thread to GN.

Actually, my mIL is as bad as this mythical granny, so not entirely unbelievable.

My 2 year old ds hasn't a clue regarding the potty. We have one.
He still has a bottle of milk 1st thing. We have a snuggle while he drinks it. I don't care, he'll be an adult for long anough.

He goes to bed between 7-9. Much of that depends on if he's slept in the day.

He also grazes through the day but does have dinner.

Please don't interfere.

Oh & my ds also sometimes throws his sippy cup.

They're 2, these babies.

He's currently stirring his cheerios/raisins with his hands. He's having FUN.

Fancy these babies being babies & fancy these parents doing things their own way.

Just write a book a la Fina Gord.

My ds aged 2 can count to 10 though.
So I've not totally failed him.
